Well, this suggestion doesn't quite fit your criteria as it's a fictional series but a remarkable number of facts are integrated into the stories. The author is W.E.B. Griffin and the series is called The Corps. It follows several Marines through WWII and then into Korea. There are real facts about the start of the OSS, coast watchers, resistance in the Phillipines, handling and cracking of the Japanese code, etc. I find the series absolutely addictive. Of course, it primarily focuses on the Pacific Theatre.
